It's Wednesday & it's Hembeck
From June 1980
This is something that always confused me. Of course, the name Arsenal confused me as well.
Ahhhh...Speedy. One of the great conundrums of comics. I eventually discovered that it was because he was so fast shooting, but I also thought it was because Kid Arrow sounds...well...stupid. Not that Kid Flash sounds much better.
I actually don't mind Arsenal as a name. I don't like Red Arrow particularly, so I just call him Roy.
This was something that drove me nuts as a kid. Flash's sidekick should have been Speedy. Why couldn't the grown men making the comics figure that out?
